No display showing after reinstalling PC

Good day, everyone.

An issue popped up after cleaning my PC and reinstalling the components. There is no feedback on the display but everything seems to be running just fine like it was before the clean-up. I tried resetting the bios, going back and forth with my old and new ram, HDMI and replugging cables multiple times. It might be an issue with my front panel header since I can't figure out the place for each plug there (PLED, POWER, HDD LED,...), the first try there was just a guess with the motherboard manual as refference and all went fine up to this point. Another issue that's occuring is that I cant turn off the power while holding the power button on the case.

Specs:

AMD FX4100
ASRock 970 Extreme3
Asus GeForce 660
New RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8GB @ 1866Mhz
Old RAM: Corsair Vengeance LP 4GB @ 1600Mhz
Cooler Master Hyper Evo 212
Cooler Master Silent 620W (Modular)
Kingston HyperX 120GB SSD 500/500
Western Digital Black 7200RPM 1TB

All in a Corsair 300R.

If anybody can give me a solution for these two issues, much appreciated.

sounds like a dead motherboard/gpu... or possibly a dead psu.

lets bug check first before you return anything.

1) unplug everything from the mb, fully break down the system, taking out even the cpu
2) take the mb out of the case, check the back of the motherboard for damage such as burn marks... make sure the back of the mb is dirt free, and there are no screws or anything stuck behind the tray. Make sure all the mb spacers are in place. visually inspect the cpu... make sure the pins are not bent.
3) reassemble the system slowly and carefully, clean the cpu and reaply thermal paste, use just 1 stick of ram, and an old gpu you know works. plug no hard drives into the mb or psu.
4) turn on the system and see if it loads. if it doesn't turn off, and try the ram in another slot. repeate for all slots and all sticks of ram.
5) if you're still striking out... try an old psu

if none of this works you have a dead mb. if it loads with the old gpu and not the new one, you have a dead gpu. and if it loads with the old psu and not the new one you have a dead psu. if it loads with one stick of ram but not the other you have a dead stick of ram.

the only thing we can't test is the cpu. but those fail so rarely it's unlikely to be the issue.
